Novena To Our Lady of Perpetual Help

between divine justice and me, thy most unworthy
client, for having turned away God's anger from me,

and for having obtained for me so many graces.
These graces are my desires for those I may and

ought still to hope for from thy Perpetual Help. Hence
for the time to come, whenever I feel more painfully
the weight of my unworthiness, when all seems lost,
and I am tempted even to despair, then especially, full
of confidence, will I invoke thy blessed name. I will
make my misery a claim on thy mercy. I will believe
that if God lets me feel my weakness, it is to force me
to cast myself into the arms of His mercy and upon
thee, my sweet and only hope. Design to remember
this resolution in my time of need, and grant that I may
be faithful to it, till my last breath. And the Most
DAY 1 Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may never cease
to have recourse to thee. AMEN.

me to do so, O Mother of Perpetual Help. Obtain for
me a heart like to that of JESUS and thy own, so that I
may be meek and humble, patient, compassionate,
more ready to forgive than to take offense, and to give
than to receive; that thus I may keep my eyes ever open
to my own faults, and may close them to those of my
neighbor; that I may put up with everything rather
than cause pain to another; that severe to myself, I may
be full of indulgence towards others, that I may love
them in JESUS, and JESUS in them; that by my
prayers, my good advice, and good example, I may
strive to draw them for their salvation to JESUS and to
thee. AMEN.

body and soul. Thou ever defendest all those who
confide in thy Perpetual Help, and who invoke thee in
the hour of danger: grant then, that in no day I may
omit to honor thee, and to pray to thee. May I bear thee
in mind, especially when the enemy of my salvation
assails me. This is the grace I ask of thee, and I desire
always to ask of thee: obtain it for me and I shall be
secure. By thy holy Virginity and thy Immaculate
Conception obtain for me, O Mother of Perpetual
Help, purity of body and soul. AMEN.

hands, to thee I entrust the care of my sinful soul:
dispose of me, do with me as thou pleasest, but
preserve me from an evil death. Reject, if thou wilt, all
my other prayers, provided thou hearest this one for a
good death; or may a peaceful and holy death be the
crowning answer to all the prayers I address to thee
henceforth to the end of my days. And When my last
hour shall come, grant, O my good Mother, that I may
worthily receive all the helps the Holy Church affords
to the dying: And be thou pleased thyself o come then
